of the Local Branch of the League,
sent the following telegram to the
leaders of the League in New York
and Chicago:
0'Brien mobbed in the streets of
Toronto by Orangemen. j. NJ Wall,
of the New York Tribune, seriously
wounded.
P0'Brien said to an Associated Press
representative: Lansdowne has now
done his worst. His policemen abso-
lutely surrendered us to the mob,
and had not we taken refuge In BIZ
cycle shop, we would have been
killed" O'Brien viii speak in Ottawa
tSmorrow, and in Kingston Friday
G'Brien spent the day in visiting
several Catholic institutions in this
city. He declares tonight that he
will certainly go to st. GATHERINGS,
and that the more the Orangemen
oppose him the longer he will stay IN
Canada.
The incursion of O'Brien, the Irish
agitator, seems to have changed the
whole face of Canadian politics, and
it is thought Will have an important
bearing on the future of parties and
policies in the Dominion. The Orange
men seem to feel that they have com
mitted a blunder, not in having at
tackled the speaker and disturbing the
1aeeting, but in not having done so
half well enough.
